As a distinct component of the Margaret River Ultra Marathon festivities, the Marathon distance provides a slightly more accessible challenge while still capturing the spirit and beauty of the region. From the coastal village of Yallingup, marathon participants tackle a diverse and scenic course that leads them through the heart of the Margaret River wine country, offering stunning views of the Indian Ocean, karri forests, and boutique vineyards along the way. With a significant elevation gain of 1000 meters, the marathon tests runners' endurance and climbing abilities, rewarding them with breathtaking landscapes and a memorable finish at the prestigious Howard Park winery. Limited to 400 participants, the event ensures a more intimate racing experience, fostering camaraderie among runners and a shared appreciation for the natural wonders of the Margaret River region.
